I held the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and it finally feels like Samsung actually tried

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-11 12:33:54

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is the most widely available book-style foldable phone family. However, I’ve only begrudgingly recommended these devices to people wanting a large foldable. That’s mostly because Samsung has coasted on the design and hardware front while rivals have sprinted ahead with exciting designs and impressive hardware. After laying my hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though, I’d argue that in some ways, it’s the most cutting-edge foldable

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter and has a larger 8-inch display

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-11 12:00:54

With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is getting closer than ever to perfecting its folding smartphones. The new model is a substantial improvement over the Fold 6 with a much thinner, lighter design, larger and brighter display and an improved hinge design that reduces visible creasing to almost nothing. It's also more powerful and comes with a new wide-angle camera that finally matches up with the mainstream Galaxy S series. Though it superficially resembles the previous model, Sams

The MFA You Trust Is Lying to You – and Here's How Attackers Exploit It

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-11 12:02:12

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed. Authenticator apps do improve over SMS by avoiding message interception, but t

Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

The Fold7 measures 8.9 millimeters when folded, a drastic reduction from the 12.1-mm Galaxy Z Fold6. Unfold it, and you're looking at a minuscule 4.2 mm of thickness, down from 5.6 mm last year. Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive. The Fold7 is also lighter at 215 grams, a 24-gram drop from the Fold6. It weighs less than an iPhone 16 Pro Max. What's even crazier is that the

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place.

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =

The city seemed so luminous at night—so different from tiny Convent, Louisiana, where I was from—that it felt otherworldly and inaccessible. In 2020, I moved there during a painful divorce.

FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour

In 2024, the FTC was set to implement the "click to cancel" rule, which would have placed requirements on companies to be forthright about the terms and conditions and exit options for their subscriptions. Since that time, the agency has become a less independent part of the executive branch and in May, it delayed enforcing some parts of this rule to July 14. Today, the entire plan appears to be dead in the water after judges in the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to vacate the rule.
